Another brilliant example of reduced electronic minimalism from Carsten Nicolai, who, in addition to overseeing Raster Noton, has collaborated with the likes of YMO's Ryuichi Sakamoto over the 10 + years that he has been making music. Less serene that this collaboration, 'Univrs' could be hailed as 'outsider' club music; the percussion and rhythms are fragile and crystalline, but the bass is omnipresent and foreboding. In a similar way the to exponents of the more spatial, isolated genus of techno such as Pan Sonic and Sleeparchive. An essential release.
